to be honest, never having taken a screen shot and posting it, I have no idea how.
However, of the two daggers I have, the Vampiric dagger of restoration has:
No Repair
Brittle
Stamina leech 50%
Mana leech 50%
Life leech 70%
Hit Fatigue 20%
Mana Drain 50%
Hit Point regeneration 9
Stamina Regeneration 3
Mana Regeneration 6
Luck -100

the other is a Vicious Dagger of the Vampire
Splinter 15%
Hit Cold Area 50%
Life Leech 50%
Mana Drain 50%
Battle Lust
Damage Increase 50%
of the two, I think the Vampiric dagger of restoration, if it could be repaired and siege blessed, would be great for a thief weapon, as it wouldn't make a good pvp weapon (though with some poison it would have a little edge) but would certainly enhance my survivability. I dount I could be lucky enough to get its match from a re-forger, but anything along those lines would be great

As an imbuer on both this shard and Europa I understand the process required to make weapons of this quality. However I have to air my concern and disappointment as to how people can generate these weapons so consistently. A good friend of mine who only plays Europa who happens to be an IDOC hunter hit a gold mine recently. He happened upon an IDOC that when dropped contained many, many containers of completed Large Exceptional Valorite BoD deeds, and we are talking in the hundreds if not thousands.
I have an acceptance of bugs and exploits in this game and have had for quite some time as I'm sure everyone else has, even going back to the house deed vendor bug which people made astronomical amounts of gold through and there are many others.
But these days with the limited population I expected people to be a little more honest. But no, people remain as greedy as ever. I now realise (and I may be some way behind time) that this bug was across all shards.

There's nothing I can do about this and its very unlikely anyone else can. It's also very unlikely that anyone will ever admit that they took advantage of it. But what I will say, and I am not saying that anyone here has taken advantage, if you have been involved please think about the effect you have on the dwindling population of Siege and your home shard.

Gold is not everything, the community is.

Probably the wrong place for this, but I had to vent, things like this draw me closer to the un-subscribe buttons and I really don't want to.

Im not sure really what point you are trying to make? If venting makes you feel better, than by all means please do.
These two daggers i have were not manufactured by anyone- I purchased them from vendors, and they are dropped loot- cursed and non-repairable. I am looking to see if anyone can make anything similar to them, that would be repairable and siege blessable.
I have no idea if any of the imbuers are doing anything they shouldn't. With our small population, i would imagine that if they were, it would become quite obvious in no time at all. And I remember which vendor house I purchased these items at, and while I dont know which player put them up for sale, have never seen anything suggesting any exploits or foul play of the items sold there.

Both weapons can only be crafted by reforging. Best way to find out if its possible to make versions that can be repaired is to go to TC1 shard and try for yourself. On TC1 you will find runic hammers with lots of charges in your bankbox.

You're right there was no specific point and it was just a vent and to be honest was completely the wrong thread and forum to do it and I do hope you find someone to make your weapon of choice.
However if I were to add a point to it, it would be to say that high end runics are not easy to come by as any honest crafter/BOD collector would agree especially on Siege given the limited population. As an example if I were to acquire a Valorite Hammer (or similar high end tool) through the BoD system it would be extremely unlikely that I would waste those 15 charges on a request from someone else on a specific item. Unless of course I had hundreds of hammers and couldn't care less about losing a few.

The friend I mentioned above offered me 50+ val hammers to 'play around with re-forging' I considered the offer, but refused.

With the new bod bribe system getting a Valorite Runic hammer is very easy but finding that many filled large valorite bods in an IDOC on a prodo is almost certainly a case of duping which fortunately Siege has never really suffered from since most of the recent methods of duping involved server transferring which isn't an issue here. In about a week of reactivating i have already got all the bods for a Valorite hammer, getting the ingots to fill it is the real trick since they are probably worth more than the hammer now

making those particular items will cost you a fortune. The way reforging work you might get the props you want you might not. Its a bit of a crap shoot. That being said you would have to burn about 5-6 charges per weapon make. That would mean you could burn a vala hammer on it and end up with 3 useless pieces of crap. So Bo isnt sure who would bother burning those items for you. Best thing to do is find a farmer and have them save you one from shame.
